About Exo Planets Explorer 3D

Take a thrilling ride through space and visit strange new worlds orbiting alien stars. Beautiful music and graphics will carry your imagination deep into the Milky Way galaxy!

Exoplanet Explorer presents interactive 3D models of real solar systems. It visualises planets that have been discovered around distant stars.

Features:
★ Beautiful graphics with awesome music and sound effects
★ Easy to use and understand, with intuitive controls
★ Hundreds of systems to explore
★ Real planets around real stars
★ A great tool for anyone interested in space or astronomy
★ The fastest way to travel light years through space!

From the lonely Earth sized rock orbiting Alfa Centauri just four light years away, to distant systems with enormous gas giants, exploring the galaxy has never been more exciting!

The intuitive interface is easy to use and the built-in filtering tool makes it simple to find worlds that you are interested in. You can search and sort by name or the number of objects in a system, to name just a few of the many options.

For the global perspective, statistics are provided to summarise the information in the galaxy database.

The full version of Exoplanet Explorer HD has the following features:
* Loads more planets
* Hi-def graphics for tablets or large screen phones
* Advanced statistics
* More databases to explorer, including lists of thousands of planets that have yet to be confirmed and Kepler planets, yet more yet-to-be confirmed planets discovered by NASA's prolific Kepler Space Telescope.

The data is provided by the Planetary Habitability Laboratory (PHL), a research and education virtual laboratory dedicated to studies of the habitability of Earth, the Solar System, and exoplanets. The PHL is located at Aricebo, near the largest radio telescope on Earth. The database is a compilation of discoveries made by astronomers and telescope from all round the world.

The PHL divides each planet into one of 6 mass classes, and further subdivides it into one of 3 temperature classes based on its known astronomical information. The app uses this to create a model which represent what it may look like. These models are then assembled into working solar systems for your viewing pleasure.

Exoplanets are divided into the following mass classes:
* Mercurian - dwarf rocky worlds that have the approximate mass of Mercury
* Sub-terran - rocky globes with a mass similar to Mars
* Terran - rocky worlds with similar mass to Earth
* Super-terran - rocky worlds with a higher mass than Earth
* Neptunian - gas giants similar to Neptune
* Jovian - gas giants as massive or more massive than Jupiter

The exo planets are further divided into the following temperature classes:
* Hot - temperatures are too hot to support liquid water
* Warm - the star’s habitable zone is where liquid water could exist on the surface
* Cold - temperatures are low enough that water would only exist as ice

In addition to temperature and mass classes, the PHL database also includes:
* Composition class - defines whether the planet is composed of iron and rock like the Earth, gas like Jupiter, Saturn Neptune or Uranus, or large quantities of water, perhaps similar to Jupiter's moon Europa
* Habitability class - for worlds similar to Earth, this identifies whether they they are too cold for life, like Mars, or too hot like Venus
* Surface temperature - surface temperature based on the distance from the star and the star's energy output
* Surface gravity - an estimate of their gravity

Almost perfect, but the controls is a bit hard. And improve the graphics more detail if you can. Add more if you can.

nice toilet app to pass time. The flight simulation is cool.. sound effects and all. Very general not too in depth but graphics are clean. Also informative not too clustered.

It should have been done with a function to block an aciddentaly tap into the planets and just let to move the view of its scenario. Also this app isn't updatted until now (06/24/17) and the last developers shot was in october, 2016.

I love this app because discovering things is my thing oh and also there are planets with water. Yeah dude this app is more than great and enjoy your app.????

But you need to add a huge ring system to the planet 1swasp J1407b, and I know this is called exoplanet explorer but could you add some stars that don't have planets, like Betelgeuse and UY Scuti, VY Canoris Majoris, Rigel, Pistol Star, I really love this app and I would love it more if you did these things.

by C####:

Pretty good, I just wish I could zoom in as much as it could but very clear, other than that it is pretty good. What I love the most about this is the other Solar Systems mirrors the exact image of the actual Solar System. It is not every single one, but it is allot, and no matter what it is very awesome.......

C70%
by C####:

A little difficult to control, unintended hits, but so many stars and planets to 'visit' makes this a moot point.

C70%
by C####:

Please add gliese planets and stars, tau ceti, wasp and wolf planets and stars and koi (Kepler object of interest) planets and stars if the all KOI's are confirmed and also polaris and please add missing stars and planets

I have been a amateur astronomer for over fifty two years. I am enjoying this new app emincely, it is very useful. Thank you.

First, Alpha Centauri is one of a binary system comprising of Alpha Centauri A and B stars. And has no known planets. Also missing the closer star, Proxima Centauri that does have a planet, Proxima b, which has about 1.3x the mass of Earth, and orbits Proxima Centauri every 11.2 earth days at about 7 million kilometers from the host star. Guess this app is not up to date. And Proxima b is in the habitable zone of its host star.

You can see other planets and is good for science about unknown planets

Needs an update. Apart from that, its a very very elegant app for all those interested in physics and astronomy.
